Quintana tossed two scoreless innings, then gave up a run on a double and a base hit in the third. He settled in for three more scoreless innings, ending his day after six with three strikeouts and in line for the win. The 36-year-old southpaw now holds an unsustainable 0.96 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and a 9/5 K/BB ratio across 18 2/3 frames. He’ll take on the Cardinals in St. Louis on Sunday.

Quintana has quickly turned into a lifesaver for the Brewers, winning his first two starts with a 0.71 ERA. The lone damage today came on a Spencer Torkelson homer. Quintana will take his next turn in San Francisco against the Giants.

The 36-year-old southpaw will make his Brewers’ debut on Friday night in a tough spot against the Diamondbacks in Arizona. Fantasy managers would be advised to take a wait-and-see approach here instead of throwing Quintana to the wolves on Friday night in his first start of the season.
